Here are the details on Jon Gruden's contact with the Oakland Raiders

For anyone who was hoping Jon Gruden would return to Tampa Bay to serve as head coach of the Bucs, I hate to break it to you but that officially won’t be happening. The Bucs decided to retain Dirk Koetter and Gruden is headed to Oakland to officially be introduced as head coach of the Raiders on Tuesday.

Gruden is set to sign a 10 year contract worth $100 million. This will be his second stint with the Raiders after preciously serving as head coach between 1998 to 2001 and led the team to its last Super Bowl appearance along with a 38-26 team record during his first stint with the Buccaneers.

Here’s a closer look at Oakland’s official news release and bio on Gruden:

ALAMEDA, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders will host a press conference at noon on Tuesday, Jan. 9 to officially introduce Jon Gruden as the new head coach of the Silver and Black. Jon Gruden returns as head coach of the Oakland Raiders, welcoming back one of the most respected and successful coaches in the storied history of the Silver and Black. Gruden, who was first introduced as head coach of the Raiders 20 years ago, served four seasons with the Raiders from 1998 to 2001.

The naming of Gruden marks his return to coaching after spending nearly a decade in broadcasting, including color analyst duties on the Monday Night Football franchise from 2009 to 2017. Gruden compiled a 95-81 (.540) regular season mark in 11 seasons as a head coach with the Raiders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-08), and a 5-4 record (.556) in postseason contests, which includes a victory in Super Bowl XXXVII.
